NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

There was a fair degree of activity
noticeable in the general market to-
day. In addition to goodly num-
Der of visiting merchants in the mar
kets there was a fair trade on orders
from drummers on the road.
The grocery market displayed more
activity, perhaps, than others, and
values generally were firm and in
some respects strong. Coffees and
sugars have undergone no change, but
maintain a very firm market.
Country produce receipts are about
equal to the demand. Eggs are steady
at s cents. Hens are worth, in first
hands, from 10 to 81 cents. There is
good demand for choice butter at Is
to % cents. Provisions are unchang-
ed and fairly steady.

A Popular Cyclopedia.

4 Cyclopedia which presents con-
else aAd readable biographical sketch
es together with choice and charac-
teristic selections from the writings
of eminent authors of all ages and all
nations, surely ought to be in great
popular demand if its cost were not
prohibitory. Such work is Alden's
Cyclopedia of Universal Literature,
Volume vi. ofwhich' now published,
contains 479 pages, large type, beau
tifully printed and bound, and in
cludes within it the names of eighty
two eminent authors, among which
are: Dana, Dante, Darwin, Daudet,
Jefferson Davis, Sir Humphrey DaVy,
DeFoe (of Robinson Crusoe fame),
Demosthenes, DeQuincey, Deseartes,
Dickens, Disraeli, Doddridge, and
Douglas. 1t would seem hardly pos
sible to plan any literary work more
eminently readable and interesting,
if the compiling and editing were
we'll done-and the nearly universal
verdict seems to be that this is very
well done indeed. And the price!
Only The Literary Revolution could
have accomplished such wonder
so cents for half-Morocco binding!
! The publisher offers sample VOLUME
to any one with privilege ofreturn if
not satisfactory. Any one interested
in high class literature ought to send
for Mr.. Alden's Ga page Catalogue OF
Standard Books, which is free to any
applicant. Address John B. Alden,

The Merchant and the Printer.
Franklin Co., Tenn.

A printer stood ut the desk of
business man the other day, and
noticed him using letter heads and
bill heads bought of an eastern house.
Said the printer who was a customer,
"What would you think OF me if |
were to go east and buy your line OF
goods for myself and family" The
merchant replied: q would think
you q fool when | know you can get
the same goods as cheap from me
and aid q fellow citizen" When the
printer called his attention to the
imported letter and bill heads the
merchant COughed and went behind
the counter to wait on a customer.
And the same merchant only a few
days before asked the printer to give
him a free puff about his big stock of
new goOds.-EXchange.
We use the above simply to show
the kind of merchants they have in
some towns. McMinnville, we are
happy to say, has no merchants of
this class. We don't think a single
business house in McMinnville uses
foreign-printed stationery. Some of
the stationary used by the banks is
printed abroad, simply because the
home Offices have not the facilities
for doing the work, but they give the
home Offices all of their worl, which
can be done here.

TO all young men choosing between
the two states of life, the single and
the married, we commend the words
of the quaint Jeremy Taylor, who
sums up the. subject well when he
says: Marriage hath in it more
safety than single life hath; it hath
more care; it is more merry and sad;
it is full of joys and sorrows; it lies
under more burdens, but it is sup
ported by all the strength of love and
charity, which makes those burdens
delightful. 1t is school and exer-
else of virtue, and though it has cares,
yet single life hath desires which are
more troublesome and more danger
Gus, and often end in sin, while the
cares are but exercises Of piety."

Bitter Brea&

Complaint is frequently made by those whs'
use baking powders that they leave in bread
biscuit, or cake raised by them disagreeable,-
bitter taste. This taste follows the of alA
impure baking powders, ana is caused either
by their containing alum introduced to make
a cheap article), by the impure and adulterate6
character Of other ingredients used, or from the
ignorance eff their manufacturers of the proper
methods of combining them. These baking
powders leave in the bread a residum formed
of lime, earth, alum, or other deleterious mat
4e1s, not always, though frequently, tastable il
the food, and by all physicians classed as in
jurious to health. The Royal Baking Powder
IS Tree from this serious defect. In its use DO
residuum is left, and the loafraised by it IS
always sweet, light, and wholesome, and
noticeably free from the peculiar taste con-
p,ained of. The reason of this is because it is
composed of nothing but absolutely pure ma
te-als, scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions of acid and alkall to act
upon and destroy each other, while producing
the largest amount of rising powder. We are
| justified in this assertion from the unqualified
| statements made by the Government chemists,
| who after thorough and exhaustive tests re-
| commended the Royal for Governmental
use because of its superiority over all others in
purity, strength, and wholesomeness. There is
| no danger of bitter bread or biscuit where il
| alone is used.
